Chapter 30: Crossfire

"No, the thieves are coming!" a villager exclaimed, and the noisy crowd in the big house suddenly quieted down, and when they heard the shouting of the thieves outside, everyone in the house was frightened for a while, as if they had been immobilized. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The crying child also seemed to feel the nervousness of the adults, and the crying stopped abruptly, and threw himself into his mother's arms, turning his head to look at the faces of the adults around him secretly, and his eyes full of tears were full of horror.

"What?" "What?" the village chief Gao rushed to the gate with one arrow, almost squeezing his whole head into the crack in the door, and through the narrow crack in the door, he saw more than a dozen thieves climbing over the low wall and shouting with torches.

Village Chief Gao lost all his strength in an instant, and almost sat on the ground, his eyes full of despair.

"They, they're going to set fire!" Village Chief Gao trembled, and finally burst out of his mouth a few words.

"Ahh

"You're still going to argue about going out, it's okay now!" said one of the villagers indignantly. But what's the use of being angry at this time?

"Mommy, Mommy!" the child, who had stopped crying, suddenly cried loudly again, his arms tightly wrapped around his mother's waist, and he refused to let go of his hands.

The people in this room were children and women except the elderly, and if the thieves rushed in, they would have no way to live.

The thieves of the thieves came quickly, and those who survived last night's battle were the best of the best, and there was not much distance from the wall they had climbed over to this big house, and for these thieves they were there in an instant.

Through the narrow crack in the door, Village Chief Gao seemed to see the fine lines on the faces of the leading three, and the steel knife in the thief's hand seemed to be ready to slash at them at any time.

Since these thieves planned to attack with fire, they didn't need to rush to the house at all, they only needed to throw torches from a distance, and they could naturally turn the big house where the villagers of Xiaoye Village were hiding into a sea of fire.

"It's over, it's over!" Village Chief Gao sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner, unable to stand up again.

The villagers in the house lost the courage to resist amid the shouts of the thieves.

Flame Dong Ming, who rushed to the front, sneered, revealing Sen Sen's white teeth, he was also completely angered by Xiao Ye Village, and he wanted the people of Xiao Ye Village to bury his brother.

"Phew!"

"Bah!!" Suddenly there was a deafening sound of gunfire outside the house.

"Xiaojie, are they coming?" Village Chief Gao didn't know where he got the strength, and jumped up, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and threw himself on the door again.

"Xiaojie, they're here!" The villagers also exclaimed in unison, and at this time, the two words Xiaojie seemed to have become their backbone, and they became a towering tree that sheltered them from the wind and rain.

"Wow!" a woman couldn't bear it anymore when she heard the words "Xiaojie is coming", and cried out with a wow.

They never noticed that Lin Jie was already so important in their hearts, and they didn't notice that Xiaoye Village seemed to be unable to live without Lin Jie.

"Bah!!" There was another line of gunfire outside.

Lin Jie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced back at Blacksmith Hu and the others, and hurriedly found a place to hide without caring about anything else.

Lin Jie and the twenty of them were ambushed at the entrance of the village, and when the thieves who escaped were not seen at dawn, Lin Jie immediately felt that something was wrong, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind: "Could it be that those thieves are going to attack the hiding place of the villagers of Xiaoye Village?"

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Lin Jie could no longer calm down, and immediately led these villagers who had transformed into qualified warriors to rush here.

The ancestral shrine of the Gao family was originally built on higher ground, and the mound behind the house became a natural barrier, so that no one could sneak attack from behind, and there were steep slopes on both sides, and the enemy could only rush in from the square in front of him if he wanted to attack, but it was a very suitable place for defensive battles.

The largest of them were flanked by two low attics, which were not intended to be a place to live and store belongings, but only to set off the majesty of the ancestral shrine, so that there were so many windows and hollows that it was a ready-made bunker.

As soon as Lin Jie and his party entered the attic, they each looked for the most advantageous position, leaned over and hid, they moved very lightly, and there was a commotion in the big house, but no one knew that they had hidden in the attic.

Lin Jie subconsciously wiped his forehead again, after such a while, he had already discovered the traces of those thieves, if they were a little bit late, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Carpenter Zhang and Blacksmith Hu were not far from Lin Jie, and they also saw the thieves behind the low wall, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, secretly admiring each other in their hearts. In their eyes, Lin Jie may have become a demonic existence.

The two of them were much older than Lin Jie, but they were deeply impressed by Lin Jie's every move, so much so that when Lin Jie asked their team to divide into two groups, and when one attic was equipped with four thunderbolt guns, Carpenter Zhang and Blacksmith Hu asked to follow Lin Jie's side.

"Xiaojie, what are you doing?" Carpenter Zhang suddenly saw Lin Jie take out a small oil lamp from his body, and then lit it. Now Lin Jie did not hurry up to prepare to meet the enemy, but instead lit an oil lamp, which aroused the curiosity of Carpenter Zhang.

"Shhhhhhhhhh

There was no sound in the attic except for the occasional beep from the burning of an oil lamp.

But this silence didn't last long at all, and the thieves outside had already let out a cry under the leadership of Dong Ming, and rushed towards the big house in front of them like hungry wolves.

Lin Jie's heart sank, the thieves of the Flame Thieves Regiment clearly put on a posture of killing a fish and breaking the net, especially since these thieves had also learned to be obedient, and their bodies were shaking left and right and not rushing forward in a straight line at all, so that it was difficult for their thunderbolt guns to aim.

Once the thieves rushed into the house, or threw all the torches on the house where the villagers were hiding, the battle would not be fought.

In this situation, Lin Jie and the others did not have the slightest choice, those thieves rushed out less than ten meters, and Lin Jie opened fire.

"Bah!" Lin Jie pulled the trigger fiercely, and the speed of those thieves did not allow him to aim carefully at all, so he shot at the place where Dong Ming was.

"Woo hoo!" The villagers in the attic on both sides followed Lin Jie's gunfire and pulled the trigger, and there were four guns on each side to form a crossfire.
